MARVEL UK - PLANET OF THE APES ISSUE #1

From October 1974, the absolutely fantastic cover from the Marvel adaption of the original movie.

Electric Movie Magic: Planet of the Apes (1969)

BEHIND THE SCENES - ICARUS SPLASHDOWN

Close Encounters of the Third Kind may be my all-time favourite movie, but Planet of the Apes runs it a pretty close second. Such a great and influential movie for me when I saw it when I was a kid. To start this series of ELECTRIC MOVIE MAGIC posts, here's a brilliant behind the scenes photo showing the set up for Astronauts Taylor, Landon and Dodge's escape from their sinking starship, Icarus.

"DO YOU EVER THINK OF THE FUTURE, HOMER?"

- LONG PAUSE - 

"YOU MEAN WHEN APES RULE THE WORLD, MARGE?!"

Huge Ape fan here. Absolutely love anything and everything to do with it and it was one of the formative experiences of my early cinema going when I saw Beneath for the first time on the big screen. I eventually saw Planet some months later on a special saturday matinee double bill. So you can imagine I'm very much looking forward to the new movie due out here soon. Came across this today and loved it. An international poster which captures the essence and thematics of the series very well. Hope you like it as much as I do.
